Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Lightning bolt flashes over La Palma as lava rivers flow down volcano” – below is their description.
The release of large blocks of lava and formation of new lava streams down the Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma on Sunday was caused by the northern side of the volcanic cone collapsing in on itself yesterday (pictured). The blocks of red-hot magma flowing down the side of the volcano on Sunday were the size of three-storey buildings, the Spanish Institute of Geology and Mining said. There were 21 seismic movements on Sunday, with the largest measuring 3.8, the Spanish National Geological Institute (ING) said, shaking the ground in the villages of Mazo, Fuencaliente and El Paso. From Monday, members of the Spanish Navy will help clean volcanic ash that covers large parts of the island, Defence Minister Margarita Robles said during a visit on Sunday.
